For our members

Paddling is not (allowed to) be the only thing!

by Heiko M. Kriegel

Canoeing like skiing is a seasonal sport. With one exception only. The “extreme paddlers” also use winters for paddling.
Most of our active members usually use snow, ice or other things for doing sports during winter time. For our canoe club it is a hard time of the year because many members don’t come to the boat house so often and other sports or activities might get more important.

 

Our exceptional location - directly at the Elbe cycling path, not far from the Blue Wonder Elbe Bridge - is an ideal start for biking, skating or jogging.
When it is too slippery outside or who doesn’t like to pay more money for a health club, visits our fitness area.
The equipment was bought for the canoeist’s demand. You don’t find any home trainers or treadmills. Instead our fitness room is used to built up muscles mostly. Cycling or jogging can be done outside.
 

 

New since/from  2004

We are renovating, modifying part of our boat house and bought already equipment for more attractive visits to the boat house during winter time.
Our fitness room is equipped with brand-new sport utensils which were optimised and expanded.
Our outdoor sports field has a new fence, so that close by traffic can’t get disturbed by us or disturbing us. We bought new hockey goals, baskets for basketball, integrated equipment to play volleyball and tennis.
To round off the offered activities we decided to add a Finnish sauna at our canoe club.
Right now we realise or still plan some investments. Our goal is to have everything finished by next winter.
